The Official Prefered File Upload Format

[paladin shredder]

Vote based on what format you would prefer if you were listening to someone else's mix!

Since there are so many people on here now posting songs and not getting responses, it might be due to the fact that some of us probably won't even bother to listen to the song if it is uploaded a particular way. I'm not saying this is the only reason people don't leave comments, but it could be a significant factor.

I basically just picked the most common formats most people seem to use on here to post songs. If there are any other formats not mentioned that YOU prefer, please don't vote, but leave a comment stating which one you use.

Also, if you listen to someone's mix: don't be lazy, leave someone a comment!

Dont mind MySpace altho the quality isn't great. Esnips only seems to work in Internet Explorer for me (using Google Chrome), and so I usually just skip whatever it uploaded there. I dont like Megaupload or sites where you have to wait. Soundclick or a direct link is best, a download link is also nice if I like the song on Soundclick but I can understand why people don't allow downloads from there.

I prefer soundclick! and myspace posts i skip because the quality is always shit! myspace compresses the shit out of the songs!

Direct Link preferably for me, but Soundclick is ok, and I don't mind esnips sometimes.

 

[seditz740novaprospect]

sound click easy to use and doesn't sound terrible or direct link

www.getdropbox.com is by far the very best hosting solution I've ever run into on the internet. Absolutely slays all the ones listed on the poll (apart from the first option, which is essentially what Drop Box is).

fuck yeah!!!

I prefer direct links by far.

Direct links - just signed up to what Moonlapse recommended, and it seems really good - I recommend everyone tries it.

Direct URL or Soundclick. Myspace has awful quality, Esnips only works on IE here and the file hosting services are unnecessary hassle.

 

[coneyis]

Direct URL or Soundclick are my top two votes. MySpace's player totally sucks when you want to hear something high quality (not to mention the site if blocked at work!)

 

[Machinated]

Soundclick isn't bad, but the compression sucks. Everyone should get the dropbox software and go that route

 

[The-Zeronaut]

direct url and /or soundclick

 

[hoehlentroll]

just looked into dropbox. looks nice! but I'm not quite sure how the public folder works, do you have access to this file? https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/314510/sneap/mix.mp3

 

[Machinated]

Yep works fine

 

[hoehlentroll]

wow. that's a cool and easy way to exchange files. love it!
just move a file into the public folder once you've install it. for link type https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/XXXX/ and add the filename.
EDIT: it's even easier: copy the file into the public folder and click the right mouse button. select dropbox --> copy public link, and you'll already have the link ready to go!

 

[GarethSE]

Voted for direct link.

Gonna look into dropbox I reckon

 

[paladin shredder]

i think direct link is really the best option, because you can upload wav or mp3's. i usually use boxstr.com to upload songs, but soundclick works great as well.

 

[Ermz]

Yeah, that's the way guys. I hope this Drop Box thing really catches on, and they don't pull some hidden fees on us later on or take their server farm down for whatever reason.

At the moment it is simply the best and most convenient way to share files. It works like a shared network folder on your computer, where you can just right click and clipboard the URL for easy linking on forums. Invaluable!

I think the vanilla free accounts get 2gig storage. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[hoehlentroll]

yep 2gig!
